President Trump and Elon Musk both said they were inspired by slain activist Charlie Kirk to bury the hatchet at his memorial — with a lip reader revealing that the commander-in-chief told the tech tycoon he’d missed him since their very public falling-out.
Trump and Musk were spotted shaking hands in a box at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Sunday as some 78,000 mourners gathered to honor the slain Turning Point USA co-founder.
Musk and the White House shared images of their reunion with the identical caption: “For Charlie.”
Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that Trump starting the conversation by warmly asking the Tesla billionaire, “How are you doing?” as they sat down next to each other.
“So Elon, I’ve heard you wanted to chat,” Trump then apparently said before adding, “Let’s try and work out how to get back on track.”
When Musk nodded, Hickling noted Trump supposedly added: “I’ve missed you.”
The pair haven’t been spotted together since their once-tight alliance exploded when Musk left as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in late May and quickly started denouncing the administration’s sweeping “Big Beautiful Bill.”
The tech tycoon started hurling a slew of insults and threats on social media, including calling for Trump to be impeached and for a new political party to challenge the GOP.
Trump responded by threatening to nix Musk’s government contracts and accused him of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
